Most of us miss out on life's big prizes. The Pulitzer. The Nobel.Oscars. Tonys. Emmys. But we're all eligible for life's smallpleasures. A pat on the back. A kiss behind the ear. A four-poundbass.

When we are mindful of every nuance of our natural world, we finallyget the picture: that we are only given one dazzling moment of lifehere on Earth, and we must stand before that reality both humbled andelevated, subject to every law of our universe and grateful for ourbrief but intrinsic participation with it. (From her biography ofnaturalist Eustace Conway.) -- Elizabeth Gilbert
